I think that everyone is frightened of the free-for-all, no national borders, anything goes, anyone- can- come- and- live- in- my- country- and- anyone- who- objects- will- be- labelled- a- racist- and- a- fascist mentality that proliferates at the present time. There must be twenty or thirty countries wherein this is the status quo, and nobody dare say a word against it. So all the things that frighten us all-----Racial dilution , loss of identity, the supression of patriotism , the loss of freedom of speech, a fear of overcrowding,an undermining of the labour market by cheaper foreign labour, civil unrest, inter-racial conflict, riots, dilution and even cynical manipulation of our religious beliefs ,and a refusal by governments to take those beliefs seriously, whilst openly pandering to the religious beliefs of immigrant minorities-------- I / we only have to raise one word of protest about it, and we"re / I"m a " Fascist " - That really hurts !! Are we English patriots, with a long and noble history of racial and religious tolerance ( like the Dutch ) , to be placed in the same category as Mussolini and Hitler ?? How sad !! Most of us condemn and abhorr the emergence of neo-Nazism and Fascism in Germany and Russia , and dare I say it, the USA, but please, before you express your outrage and indignation, try to see and understand WHY people are starting to feel and to react in that regrettable manner. A lot of nations are currently beset by problems that are not going to be solved by the simple labelling or categorisation of whole populations as Fascists, Nazis, Commies, Bolshies,Bigots, Racists,Isolationists, Protectionists, Zealots, Die-Hards, Red-necks, Good Old Boys, or what the hell else. However repugnant it might be, what the people of Russia think , is up to the people of Russia, and what the people of Germany think is up to the people of Germany, and so on . Unless, of course, you would be quite happy and agreeable to the idea of the Russians and the Germans telling you, whoever and wherever you are, what to feel ,and think, and say ??? Now THAT"S Fascism !!! Sorry, boys and girls, but the Real World is the Real World, and who, and how, are we, to change that ?? Is that not, whilst understandable, somewhat arrogant ?? Herr H . and Signor M., plus perhaps Tovarisch S., have tried that ( and failed !! ).( Luckily ).
